Edit - Hexbear announced plans to deferedate from us, so it has been made mutual. Hexbear is now defederated

==

After recent events, it feels to me that sentiment has shifted and more people are asking for defederation of hexbear than previously

I’ve been doing my best to try and mend bridges and keep us connected, as it’s my hope that we can maintain trans solidarity and work with them, despite the friction, however, ultimately, I feel that this is an issue for the blahaj lemmy community to decide, not the admins alone

So here’s what we’re going to do

We’re going to leave things as they are for a week. That will give time for things to calm down whilst we see if we can work together. After a week, I’ll put up a vote and get a feel for where the community is at in regards to our continued federation with hexbear. That poll will run for a week. If there is a strong will to defederate (a clear majority), then that’s what we will do

    I don’t remember who. The post was about the triggering of libs, using transfem imagery as the backdrop. There was HRT in comic sans written on the background, almost deepfried. I actually thought it was a bad take on 196 at first and was going to report it before noticing it was a community on a different instance, which is why I immediately blocked it and moved on.

    On the other place I would use downvotes as a way to keep track of users that posted things like that. If I saw a -5 or lower later when using RES I’d block. I’m without that now, so keeping track requires effort lol

    Most of the users I’ve seen in 196 seem cool which is why I don’t care for defederating as long as I can block individual communities. Are you an admin there? If so, would you mind if I send you bad links as I come across them?
